...So it just so happened that the exact weekend that we were up at the cabin, the President and his family would be visiting Yellowstone. Not only that, but it was also Fee Free weekend for all of the national parks. Can you say score? And we learned all of this the evening before when Jeff grabbed a local newspaper for reading material. We were not going to venture in to the park but this breaking news more than twisted our arms.
Saturday afternoon, we got within two miles of the president (when they were at Old Faithful) but the road was closed for security so we turned around rather than waiting for a possible hour or so.
While in West Yellowstone eating lunch, an undercover secret service agent stationed the corner right next to our Dairy Queen table. We also saw helicopters buzzing overhead, the airplane that carries all the presidents vehicles and a police procession with some SUVs with really blacked out windows. No way to know for sure or not if it was the president, we'll just say that for argument's sake the Obama's just drove by. It was amazing being so close to a man I respect and admire. Plus, it didn't cost a thing. No complaints... well maybe one. it would have been cool to finally see a bear.
Road closed ahead going into Old Faithful.
Do we wait or turn around? Turning around won, seeing as everyone was starving.
Meanwhile two miles down the road....
